KEIBURT RUIZ. I've been salivating over that guy ever since I found out he existed 2 months ago. ?

I should be able to get one of either Samuels or Wilson Jr

Going in to the games, the projection changed. He was able to pick up both Eckler AND Ware over me. I was now projected to lose by like 18. By the start of the New England game, I was projected to now lose by 30 points. By the start of the Steelers game I was projected to lose by just 6. AFTER the Steelers game, I was projected to WIN by 16! Antonio Brown came up HUGE for me, and Eckler didn't do much. All he had left was Ertz tonight, and Ertz merely made it slightly over his projection. I won by 14! Phew, what a fucking relief. I almost feel bad beating the same team 4 times in one season, and all when I was the underdog. On to Round 2!

Yeah...and what was stopping the Mariner's from using any of the next 4 "July trade for a team trying to win a W.S" opportunities to get a good deal for Diaz? Breaking that trade down in to two parts make the Diaz half an absolute abortion of a trade for the Mariners.

Exactly my point, thank you.

Surprised how many people were initially upset by this deal. Colome should be an obvious candidate for us to flip. Honestly, Colome might have better trade value this July than any reliever we have traded over the past few years. Kahnle got back Rutherford, but don't forget that Frazier and Robertson were also in that deal. A team like the Braves may be willing to give up someone from their DEEEEP farm system for him in July. They don't have any sort of lock-down closer and may part with someone like LHP Kyle Muller (#14 prospect) or if we can figure out a way to get C William Contreras (#12 prospect) involved.

JP Crawford's is likely viewed as Lucas Giolito going in to the 2018 season. A former very very elite prospect (Crawford was #2 ranked by MLB Pipeline) that kind of hit a wall and fell out of favor with his club, but hey....MAYBE he can still turn it around!

Mitch Haniger is 28. Yelich was 25. Haniger had 1 all-star worthy (4+ fWAR) season. Yelich had 3. Haniger is a RHH corner OF. Yelich is a LHH centerfielder. Haniger has 4 years left of control. Yelich had 5 years left of control. The trade values are definitely not similar.

Kimbrel went for prospects #25 and #76. He had 3 years left at $37M. Chapman went for prospect #2 Gleyber Torres, former top 100 prospect McKinney, Adam Warren, and Rashad Crawford (now in Yankees AAA team). He had 2 MONTHS left. Diaz went for prospects #62 and #89. He has 4 years left, 3 of them in ARB. Mariners got hosed if you want to break the trade down in to two parts.

If the Mariners are really sending $60M over, then this deal just keeps getting worse and worse for Seattle in my mind.

I don't even know if that's his nickname but myself and plenty others on Twitter noticed it the second he got drafted. Miss that show.

Cowboys defense came to plaaayyyyy. And it's nice that my favorite team avenged the loss to the Saints for my 2nd favorite team. That was a really nice of them. I was really hoping the Cowboys would have taken a WR last year in the 1st RD of the draft, but man, Thad Castle has been amazing. I think they said on the broadcast he leads the NFL in solo tackles. He had 10 tonight. He is ALL OVER the place, and he seems to be a great tackler as well. And shit, now that they got Amari Cooper doing big things, they basically got their 1st WR and they got Thad Castle shoring up that defense. On the broadcast they were bringing up what to do with Thad when Sean Lee comes back, but I guess I just assumed Thad, Lee, and Jaylon Smith would all play at the same time? Wouldn't Damien Wilson be the one being displaced?

I like Colome, but his timeline doesn't really line up that well for us (signed through 2020), so hopefully he can be flipped in July 2020 if the team is not competing by then. What would we even give up? Something like Carson Fulmer and Jordan Stephens?

Well now that the Mets have added Cano and Diaz, they can now go ahead and.....sell Syndergaard? I don't understand the Mets.

Why are people acting like this is a huge win for the Mariners? Imagine how much better of a return for Diaz it would have been if Cano wasn't a salary dump. On Garfien's podcast they were talking with Nightengale about the Mariners asking for a package starting with Cease. Cease is significantly better than Kelenic, Dunn, and Bautista. Look at what Chapman got the Yankees for only 3 months of service, Gleyber Torres. Cano is submarining Diaz's value in this trade by forcing the Mariners to take Bruce and Swarzak back in return, as well as only getting 1 top 100 prospect. Unless the Mariners got big plans with that money freed up from Cano, I'm not really sure why Mariners fans would be happy with this.

Red Dead Online is very complex. Feels like a whole 'nother game in of itself.

I'm hoping Indianapolis, but I would think Charlotte would be an option too.

Nope, straight 2 year, $15M deal for Richards with a chance to max out at $18M after incentives. My proposed deal was a guaranteed 3 yrs/$30M, but I can see why Richards would prefer what is essentially 1 year to prove health before another chance to hit a big payday.

Kiley McDaniel says likely a 3rd year team option in there.

Notwithstanding taking copious amounts of steroids, Barry Bonds never cheated.

Playoffs have started for my fantasy league. I ended up with the 2nd best record (9-3), but the 3rd seed because we have divisions. Because of a goofy as generated schedule, I played a very good team 3 times this season out of 12 games. I won all 3 games, but by less than 2 points twice. And WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT, that team is my 1st RD matchup. Can I beat them FOUR times in 13 games? I'm projected to lose by 3, and I'm very nervous. Early returns on the trade I made have been fine. White wasn't great, but Chubb was and Njoku had a great game, even though he was on my bench in favor of Brate. So that leads me to my current dilemma....... Brate or Njoku at TE? Josh Reynolds or Chris Thompson or Inman at FLEX? I currently have Brate and Reynolds in there.
